Chemmy Alcott, the UK's No. 1 Female Skier recently returned from Vancouver Olympics, proved a huge hit with the young people as she hosted our Movie Premiere night at VUE cinemas, Fulham Broadway on 14th June. Chemmy encouraged a packed cinema of young people who had attended Snow-Camp France to keep up with their snowsports and shared some of the reasons she loved skiing - before signing autographs for over half an hour! The film itself was a huge success, providing many laughs and moving moments and more importantly managing to capture perfectly the impact of the programme on the young people who attended. Thanks to the Progress Film Company for doing such an amazing job. Watch the film for yourself by clicking here:

After the success of last year’s Everest Challenge, which raised over £35k for Snow-Camp, this month we have launched the Everest Challenge 2011 in partnership with adventure holiday specialists Basecamp. It's going to be even more of a challenge this time, as from the base in Morzine participants will commit to skiing or boarding an amazing 150km in just 48 hours - including 2 night stages! Just £185 books your place on the Challenge covering all transfers, accommodation, ski passes, guiding and admin. Each participant then has a target of £1,500 to fundraise for Snow-Camp, helped by your own Just Giving page…it’s going to be a fantastic event! The Everest Challenge 2011 happens January 27th - 30th 2011. Find out more and sign up by clicking the link below.

OK we have still been doing some real work too! Snow-Camp London's summer courses are filling up fast so get in touch if you would like to send young people on one of our "Introduction to Skiing and Snowboarding" 2 day summer programmes. The Graduate Programme is also close to full - and will begin in August providing a further 10 days of snowsports development at the SNO!zone for those really keen young people who really want to push on with snowsports.

And big news! The first ever Snow-Camp Excel programme will launch this October, our first ever Skiing and Snowboarding Instructor course! After a successful bid to Sport England's Sportsmatch programme we will now be able to train 40 young people to Level 1 Instructor level - and then take them to Snow-Camp France to teach their peers to Ski and Snowboard. We are very excited about this development as it finally means we have a complete route for any young person attending Snow-Camp activities - from their first ever attempt at skiing and snowboarding right through to qualifying as an instructor.

Check out the Snow-Camp website for details of all our programmes.
